This from the guy who just said the only difference between the pay of German workers and their American counterparts was the union and the only factor influencing income from State to State was whether they are right-to-work or not...

Ahhhhhh.... common sense. Unfortunately, that is way too complicated for some. The skillset and actual value add to the company is completely irrelevant to how much a worker makes in the socialist world of people like coool. He won't be happy unless the janitor makes the same as the CEO. Then he can go hug a unicorn and rejoice that the world is finally "fair" for all.

Or, there's always option B. I know it sounds a little far fetched, but you could always have some level of personal responsibility, invest in yourself like Joey is doing and put yourself in a position to support your family before you go popping out kids. Crazy, right?

Lucky for those who fail to grasp even the most basic tenants of personal responsibility, there are plenty of self righteous dipshits with demented Robin Hood complexes who are more than willing to hand them a check (other people's money of course).
